how do i do this?

With this setting you only block third-party cookies. Third-party cookies can be for example from advertisers on the website you visit. Direct cookies and session cookies , the cookies from the website itself, are still accepted.

If you want to controle all cookies permissions you could try the extension CookieSafe

OMG I FORGOT SOMETHING :oops:

Important : If you want to use CookieSafe you have to change the value of "network.cookie.cookiebehavior" back to "2" again.

Did you change the number to 1 or 2?If 1,you may have to go back and change iit back to 0 again to be able to check your mail.(Changing it back to 0 will allow third-party cookies again.)If you changed it to 2,this blocks all cookies.

Where are you seeing the tracking cookies,do you see them after doing a Spybot scan?

My fault. It was pretty late last night. The default value is "0" . Although on installing CookieSafe it will change to "2".

No sweat,I missed it,too.

Glad you can check your email now. :)
Yes,when you set it to 1,to block third-party cookies,you will still probably get the occasional tracking cookie(s),though it should cut down on most of them.If you want to remove the tracking cookies,this shows how you can do that,plus keep the cookies you want.

You can block doubleclick by going to Tools->Options->Privacy->Cookies->Exceptions,then typing doubleclick.net,then hitting Block.Then do the same thing again,but write doubleclick.com.
